More Info:

I talked with my studio contact and I have a little more info...

Models: We are looking for models 5'8" and taller who have experience. Currently looking on Model Mayham and when we have the finalists we will provide their ID numbers.
Please bring your own model release forms and if you have a good one please share with the group or at least with me.

We're still looking at Oct 10 or 17. The studio is actually not sure which will work best for them but I'll let you know.

"The studio is looking for a donation (I'm thinking $20 +/-) to use the building and we'll also need to pay model costs."

Sorry for the confusion. The $20 gets us in the door. Model fees are dependent on who we can get. If we can find someone with experience who is willing to work for trade then of course we'll pursue it.

Personally I have no way to put my 8x10 negatives on CD so that's not an option for me. Others may be able to do this easily. It's something I hadn't thought of and I'd be interested to know how many are willing and able to do that.

Update of info and list of participants

Cost: Model fees plus $20 per person to use the studio. We'll try and find a good balance between photographers/models. If someone has experience with what a good ratio is please comment. I talked with the studio and we want to keep costs similar to what Matthew Blais is doing on the west coast ($85).

Make checks payable to Virginia Kamenitzer.

Models: We have space to shoot two models inside and one or two or more outside. Right now we're looking for a minimum of two models with experience. We can get another if there is demand.

Model Mayham ID numbers will be provided once selected.
Please bring your own model release forms and if you have a good one please share with the group.

Props: There are a couple of chairs as well as two sizes of bar stools. One Black futon. Plenty of black fabric to drape and use as backdrops. Posing boxes and a raised stage.

Other Details: Open to anyone who shoots sheet film. Secondary cameras are okay as long as it doesn’t interfere or distract from the primary shot. You will be responsible for your own lunch or the studio can arrange something (probably pizza).
